Do either S&W or Ruger make a snub revlover in .380 and if so what are they each called?
The correct answer is that 380 is not just a short 9mm. Not only is it shorter but its also straight walled compared to the tapered 9mm Luger. Since they both shoot the same diameter bullet this means 380 is smaller around at the case head than 9x19luger. So even if the moonclip maintained enough headspace to fire 380acp the cases would have to stretch and swell badly to fit the too large 9mm chamber introducing the very real pollibility of a case rupture.
